braum, Leona and blitz die in team fight they die quickly if you are behind or you are going even in your lane.

its should be tri angle way tank support beats mage support and mage support beats enchanter and enchanter sup beats tank support.

Dying in teamfights has nothing to do with who beats who.

Also, support tanks have always been less durable than toplane tanks, due to their build incorporating more utility.

Also also, Blitz has always been on the squishier side, and what the fuck are you talking about Leona being "not tanky"? Fucking press W.

This isn't rock paper scissor

Any support can beat any support, it's about the skill not about the champs you picked

Its just because most tank supports are dependent on damage reduction (see alistar R, braum shield, Leona W) But these are easily breached by true damage / summoner 14 , Leona gets the shortest end of the stick if item 3071 and item 3036/item 3135 somehow come into play since her defensive ability just scales her resistances, her saving grace is the duration.

Champions that rely on shields/heals like Blitzcrank Maokai TahmKench Nautilus arnt as effected by true damage (or max health true damage) blitz being an outlier since he isn't very tanky in the first place and his passive shield has a long cooldown.

If youre going against an ap support and the enemy team is likely to burst you anyway, just go item 3193 item 3190 , get any other support items you want and if you have room in your build grab a item 3083, this item combination is actually surprisingly slot efficient (and synergizes since it forces you to survive and be able to back off and regen)

Really good for something a support is capable of getting considering gargoyle can give 80 mr which is literally about twice as much as any other mr item while warmogs becomes alittle mandatory since resistances and damage reduction arnt capable of squat without tons of hp.

wat Tank supports murder mage supports for the most part.

Just wait till level 2-3, try not to get poked, run second wind and all them.

Tank supports are top tier as Hell and beat everything unless you are bad and just let them poke you.

Because most people are bad at this game and don't know how not to take damage level 1 and all in level 2-3. Tank supports are the most played supports in high ELO for a reason, mage supports are only crushing low ELO.

Blitz isn't really a teamfight champ. His main usefullness during teamfight phase is as the pick-maker.

Also Leona is too still tanky. And useful in a teamfight.

Support Tanks shouldn't be as tanky as Jungle or Top lane tanks though due to income.

Death by Glamour1 votes

most of the tank supports are arguably tankier thanks to defensive steroids which most toplane tanks do not have

alistar R

Leona W

Taric sustain

TK grey hp shield
